SCOTTISH Opera will release a digital version of its hugely popular Opera Highlights this autumn after its successful visit to the Three Villages Hall in Arrochar earlier this year.
This year’s online Opera Highlights will be a celebration of opera, music and performance in the time of social distancing.
Opera Highlights director Rosie Purdie said: “At this time I wanted this production of Opera Highlights to feel bright and merry, provide a few much-needed laughs, and exhibit some wonderful music.
"Four different singers come together to sing on the stage for the first time in many months.

"The cast and everyone backstage have worked extremely hard against the odds, embracing the restrictions and the distancing to create a colourful show designed to make you smile."
Scottish Opera’s general director, Alex Reedijk, added: ‘While this year’s production is taking a different form to our usual tour, I am delighted that we are able to continue our much acclaimed productions of Opera Highlights in these times, through this film.
"We look forward to a time when we take this tour to venues right across Scotland, hopefully soon, and in the meantime this film will be a welcome diversion."
